Fight and you may die. Run and you will live, at least awhile. And dying in your bed many years from now!"
Wallace reins his horse around to face the mob of sullen men, now frightened, ready to desert. We play this picture, Wallace sitting his horse, looking down in awe at this thing that has grown beyond anyone's imagination. He glances at his friends: Campbell, Hamish,

WALLACE No! They will not! He dismounts, and draws his sword. WALLACE And I will. Slowly, the chant begins, and builds...
SCOTS Wal-lace! Wal-lace! WAL-LACE! BAGPIPERS play, pulling the mob back into companies. But through the lifting mists they see the overwhelming enemy army. Hamish, Campbell and Stephen move up beside William.
STEPHEN Fine speech. Now what do we do?
